Batesville, IN — Schmidt Bakery shattered the record for Cherry Thing-A-Ling sales again this year.
Clem and Bertie Schmidt and company at the bakery in downtown Batesville’s Shopping Village sold 232,380 of the sweet treats – or 19,365 dozen – during sales to the general public last Thursday through Monday.
The fritter-type donut with cherries inside and topped with a cherry glaze is only available during Presidents Day weekend in a nod to the tale of the first President of the United States George Washington chopping down a cherry tree.
Last year, Schmidt Bakery sold 199,584 Cherry Thing-A-Lings or 16,632 dozen.
